How to open URL from cmdline in current tab (no open new)?

[thoste]

Ok, I can open an URL from command line with a command like

firefox.exe http://www.foobar.com

But this opens always automatically a new tab if Firefox is already opened.

How can I tell Firefox "use current active tab for opening the URL; Only if Firefox is currently closed and start it and open a new tab"

I don't see anything to overwrite the active tab: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozi ... ne_Options

There is a way to set Firefox to re-use the active tab for ALL external links if you want to try that, but it's not limited to the command line.

browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external => 1

(2 is new window, 3 is new tab, -1 is follow the new window handling for internal links)
